is it safe to shuffle integer values with VSHUFPS

Given the following instructions:

vmovdqu8 ymm0, ymmword ptr [rdi]

vmovdqu8 ymm1, ymmword ptr [rdi+0x20]

vshufps ymm2, ymm1, ymm0, 0x88

We loaded integer type data to ymm0 and ymm1 registers with vmovdqu8 instruction, then a float precision shuffling instruction 'vshufps' was used afterwards.

I would like to know if it is safe to use 'vshufps' instruction in this place. Any potential risk here?

Thanks
